L. Children of God, we gather to worship; to sing and proclaim with joy the good works God is doing in our midst.
P. We gather to worship, as is our custom
.
L. We also gather today to pray for our families, our community, and our world. To name the challenges that press in around us, to lament the suffering in our world, to declare our trust in God in the midst of hardship.
P. We gather to worship, as is our custom.
L. We, like those in Nazareth, gather to hear and receive the Word of God proclaimed among us. To encounter the life-giving message of God’s love redeems us to be bearers of love and freedom in this world.
P. We gather to worship, as is our custom.
L. Children of God, listen. Pay attention. Ready your hearts. God is here. Jesus has come among us. The Spirit brings the Word to life in our midst. Are you ready?
P. We gather to worship, as is our custom. Thanks be to God! Amen.
